LEGGE EXPLAINS POSITION
Toprka Asserting that the out
look for the wheat grower on an ex
port basis does not seem bright. Alex
ander Logge, chairman of the fed
eral farm board, in a letter to Gov
ernor Heed made public by the Kan
sas chief executive's office Friday
stated "it is our duty the facts be
fore the growers in the hope they
may gradually adjust production to
the probably consuming demand."
Replying to the governor's recent
criticism of acreage proposals the
farm board chairman said "Wheat
is the only crop on which we are ad
vocating a program of reduced pro
duction to a domestic consumption
basis," and htat while some reduc
tion in cotton was being advocated,
the question of improving quality
"is perhaps the most important."
"We believe," he paid, "that with
some adjustment, the American grow
er of cotton can stay in the export
field. We cannot, however, see any
such hope for the wheat grower."

Henry Field to
Enter Omaha with
New Factories
Shenandoah Man Widely Konwn
Thru Radio to Enlarge Sphere
of Business Activities.
Froposed reorganization of the
Henry Field company of Shenandoah,
la., with the addition of more than
a million dollars in capital, was an
nounced Thursday at Omaha, says
the World-Herald.
As part of the expansion progrom
the company will establish or acquire
several fctories in Omaha, it was
learned from authoritative sources.
Negotiations for the factory sites are
now near completion. It is felt that
connection with the Field organiza
tion, with its radio sales outlet, will
enable the factories to compete with
eastern producers.
The lines of merchandise which
will be manufactured here have not
yet been anonunced.
To Add New Equipment.
The reorganization plan has been
evolved after a series of conferences,
extending over four months, between
Mr. Field and T. Barraclough, repre
senting Los Angeles financial inter
ests. Mr. Barraclough has interest
ed western men who are associated
with Mr. Field in the new project,
and who will assist him in develop
ing projects which have been long
in his mind.
Erection of new buildings in Shen
andoah is also planned.
New radio equipment will be add
ed, to enable the station to use all
of its authorized power. Its present
power of one thousand watts will be
considerably increased.
More Time for Broadcasting
Mr. Field will remain as president
of the company, in active charge of
all operations. It is explained, how
ever, JJiat in the future he will be
able to give more time to broad
casting and to meeting visitors at
his station, KFNF.
"Nowhere in America except at
the White house are there as many
callers as at station KFNF," it was
said at Shenandoah Thursday. "The
accumulation of Mr. Field's duties
has been so heavy that he has long
wished to shift a part of the routine
to others."
Mr. Field has been in the seed
business since, as a boy, he sold from
a bag slung over his back. His great
est success, however ,has come since
he entered the radio field six years
ago.
Began in Small Way.
He was introduced to the radio
public when he was invited to broad
cast from station WOW in Omaha.
He brought a group of seed house
folks with him and broadcast a pro
gram of gospel hymns and old-time
fiddling. The program was so well
received that he was invited to come
back three weeks later.
He then decided to acquire a sta
tion, but found the cost of equip
ment beyond his means. He pur
chased a set of second-hand parts and
assembled his first station. Two
years later new equipment was in
stalled, which now has been out
grown.
The story of Mr. Field's success in
radio sales is told in the current
issue of Nation's Business, publica
tion of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.

PASSING OF EARLY TEXAN
Washington The death of Rep
resentative R. Q. Lee of Cisco, Tex.,
marked, the passing of one of the
prominent early settlers of the west
Texas plains country. Stricken by
paralysis five weeks ago, the seventy-one
year -old Texan died Friday
morning in a local hospital. His
was the first death among the Texas
delegation in a score of years. Both
the senate and house adopted a reso
lution of 8orrowand adjourned out
of respect to his memory. President
Hoover sent a letter of condolence
to Mrs. Lee and her five children.
A congressional delegation of twenty-four
house members, including
the Texas delegation and senators
Connally of Texas, and Bratton of
New Mexico, was designated to ac
company the funeral party, which
was scheduled to arrive in Cisco Sunday.
Thinks Hoover
Doubts About
Enforcement
So Writes Stayton in Letter Read at
Hearing Takes Attitude of
Hopeful Waiting
Washington, D. C, April 18. An
expression of belief by W. H. Stay
ton, chairman of the board of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, that President Hoover
"is beginning to doubt whether pro
hibition can be enforced" was re
ceived today by the senate lobby
committee.
The opinion was contained in a
letter written last February by Stay
ton to Charles S. Wood of Philadel
phia, a vice-president of the wet or
ganization.
The Stayton letter was introduced
into the lobby committee record while
Henry H. Curran, president of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, was testifying for the
third day. Curran had said a while
before that the "tide is turnin
against prohibition in congress.
The letter by Stayton said Chair
man Graham of the house judiciary
committee, which has been holding
prohibition hearings had urged him
to ask W. W. Atterhury, republican
national committeeman from Penn
sylvania, and a wet, to testify be
fere the committee.
"I believe," the letter added, "that
if General Atterbury should take
the stand it would cause a great
many people to be more generous as
to Mr. Hoover's attitude.
"I think there are thousands of
people and especially prominent
people here who would at once say
that, if General Atterbury, with his
strong convictions on this subject,
is willing to wait for Mr. Hoover's
calm consideration, then the' rest of
us ought equally to be willing to
wait."
"Strictly Confidential."
The letter from Stayton to Wood
further said in part
"This is absolutely confidential.
"Judge Graham, who is, I sup
pose, thinking not only of the wet
and dry issue, but also of the repub
lican party, which he very dearly
loves, has shown that these matters
are so close to his heart that he has
personally urged me to do three
things:
"1. To ask General Atterbury to
come down and go to the stand for
a few minui.es on Wednesday or
Thursday. Way will be made for
him instantly and he will not be de
tained. "2. To put Judge Graham himself
in touch with Mr. Pierre Du Pont in
Florida. Mr. Du Pont went there
yesterday to stay until the 27th of
this month, but Judge Graham is go
ing to as khimf1 to" come back here
and testify on the 19th or 20th.
"3. The judge is also, going to
reach Senator Wadsworth in Cuba
by phone and ask him to break up
his vacation and come back for tne
same purpose.
"I cannot ask you too strong to
impress upon General Atterbury that
Judge Graham thinks the three above
mentioned things of vast importance
to the cause."
Questioned about newspapers
which used publicity of his organi
zation, Curran named two in Mon
tana the Butte Miner and "the Ana
conda something."
The Butte Miner went out of ex
istence several years ago, Senator
Walsh, democrat, commented.
Several in the audience applaud
ed.
Curran also named a number of
papers along the Atlantic seaboard
which used the publicity.
Many of the small town papers
ditched" the publicity, he said ad
ding:
"The editors would have to leave
town If they used it."
Curran predicted that the enforce
ment bills would not be passed by
the present congress. He said his
organization had taken no action on
them.
Raskob Letter Into Record.
A letter written the latter part
of last year by John J. Raskob, chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee and a director of the associa
tion against the prohibition amend
ment which requested funds for the
association, also was placed in the
record.
It was sent to 49 4 persons who
contributed to the democratic cam
paign fund and resulted in 12 do
nations totaling $875. A similar let
ter, sent to 240 republicans by La
mont du Pont, an official of the as
sociation, brought in five contribu
tions asrtrreeatintr $2,125.
Senator Robinson (rep., Ind.) said
today he had intended to recall Ras
kob before the committee for ques
tionoing concerning the letter, but
that the democratic chairman as in
Europe and will not return for two
months. World-Herald.

Winter Wheat Shows Up Well in
State and Eain Has Relieved
Dry Condition of Soil.
Recpnt. erenerai rainfall has SUD
plied the state with the necessary

ious injury to crops which had been
threatened by unusually dry weatner
and warm winds during: tne nrst two
weeks of the month, according to re
braska bankers in their nrst mm
month renort to the State and Fed
eral Division of Aericultural Statis
tics this year. v inter wneat as re
ported by bankers before the recent
precipitation, showed a condition fig-
re of 87 and a probable abandon
ment of 3.S. Spring work was con
siderably advanced compared to nor
mal on April 15 and the change of
tenants on Nebraska farms has been
about as usual. Hay prices are low
er than last year; there are less hogs
left for marketing and a siigntiy
smaller number of sows to farrow
than last year.
Generally winter wheat is in good
condition. The subsoil is well sup
plied with moisture and the crop was
well covered with Snow during me
lowest temperatures of the past win
ter. The recent rains which nave
been general over the entire state
have relieved a condition of dry top-
soil which was caused by warm
pntbpr and neriods of high winds
during the first half of April. March
recipitation was far below tne nor
mal. Condition reports varied from
4"- of normal in the southern dis
trict to 79 in the northern district,
while estimates of abandonment were
highest in the northwest district
ith a percentage of 12 oi me
acreage swon last fall. The north
eastern and southern districts snow
nmrtirallv no abandonment. The av
erage abandonment for the state was
estimated at 3.8 before tne recent
rains had been received. Due to re
cent favorable conditions the pres
ent intended abandonment should De
less than the present Indications.
nankers renort 80 of the oats

though the moisture supply has been
too short to allow oats to germin

eastern and southeastern districts,
the oats crop is practically au seeaeu

conditions have been favorable for
ground preparation and spring seed

counties report that corn planting
will begin during the last week in
April.
Local prices for corn and all kinds
of hay are considerably below the
prices reported at this time last year.
The average price for corn is approx
